The Perfect Pancakes

They are big. They are fluffy. And they are guaranteed to fool even the most hardcore pancake aficionados.

We’ve all been waiting for it. The perfect gluten-free pancake that doesn’t fall flat in flavor or structure. And now we have it:

I must admit, my boyfriend should be the one receiving credit for this one. My notorious nagging for a pancake breakfast every morning had forced him to perfect this recipe over the course of at least ten weekends. But hey: practice makes perfect.

The Perfect Pancakes

Written by Eric for The Wildflour
Yields about 8 medium pancakes
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min

2 c Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour
1 1/3 T baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tsp granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 c milk
3 T melted butter

Optional:
1 c chocolate chips (add more if you want)

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine wet ingredients in another bowl.
  2. Add wet ingredients to the dry, whisking batter together. Stir in chocolate chips or any other chunky bits (cinnamon apples or espresso chocolate chips are just as good).
  3. Preheat cast iron skillet or pan of your choosing with a healthy coating of butter.
  4. Drop scoops of batter onto the pan based on how large you want your pancakes to be- (for Eric, this tends to be the size of the pan)- and flip when bubbles begin to form across the surface of the pancake. Each side should be a delectable golden brown.

Tip: Keep your p.cakes warm while you finish cooking by letting them rest in a 170 degree oven.
